Well interesting enough for any of you in the Phoenix Metro area and/or AZ area....I found out that due to newer EPA regulations, a lot of plating shops in Phoenix just shut their doors. There is still a shop in Mesa called Metro plating that been in business for 40 plus years. I'm going to try them.

I know many members here use Speed and Sport out of Texas, they do mail order. I only used them once and it was years ago. From what I hear, they are expensive but the best.

I'm late in posting the before and after pics of the polishing work Metro Plating in Mesa of my bottle shelf gate on my Jacobs 56 Pepsi machine. The picture doesn't do it justice, but it came out really nice. I just checked with them a couple of weeks ago and they can not do the pot metal coin bezel for H81B. I'll be outsourcing that to Speed & Sport in Houston.

It's amazing what a good worker can do with pot metal and chrome!
